In addition to Spanish graduate seminars, MAFLL Spanish students can take Spanish U/G (undergraduate/graduate) courses, MAFLL core courses, interdisciplinary seminars (e.g., Literature and the Other Arts, Literature and the Other Disciplines, International Literary Relations, Backgrounds of Modernism I and II), courses on Linguistics topics and courses on the theory and practice of Translation. In addition, students can take courses offered by the other foreign language programs (French and Italian, German, Slavic Languages), by Classics and Hebrew Studies, and by English and Comparative Literature. Of particular interest to some might be English's program in Modern Studies, with a national reputation for innovation and excellence. Students may also take, if justified by the needs of their individual programs, courses in departments outside the language and literature group.
